Ludwigsburg, 28. Juni 2014 – Over 1.900 guests accepted the invitation to our annual Summer party where they enjoyed a brilliant time with MHP in front of the Reithaus event location in the Ludwigsburg Film and Media Centre (FMZ). The party this year was naturally influenced by the ongoing World Cup in Brazil; the guests were able to savor the South American inspired buffet against the background of Brazilian music and dancing and were mesmerized by the ball skills of the wonderful football freestylers. The host for the evening was the well-known Sky moderator and football expert Jessica Kastrop, who also kept us up-to-date during the festivities on the ongoing World Cup games.
Dr. Ralf Hofmann, Chairman of the MHP Executive Board, thanked the entire team – which now numbers over 1.000 employees – the customers of MHP as well as the invited business partners for the successful and great cooperation in his welcoming speech. "Thanks to the outstanding cooperation and an incomparable team spirit, MHP was - in 2013 - able to enjoy further growth. We generated a turnover of over 150 million Euro in the last fiscal year and have opened branches in China and Romania since last year's Summer party", declared Dr. Ralf Hofmann. MHP's excellent performance was again reflected in the different rankings in which MHP has - for years - been one of the big players. The Wirtschaftswoche business newspaper, amongst others, rated MHP as one of the top 10 most recommended IT consultancy firms. MHP came in 6th in the Automobilwoche magazine's ranking with regard to the IT service providers of the automotive industry with the highest turnover. Dr. Ralf Hofmann also mentioned MHP's sporting commitment in Ludwigsburg. MHP is, since 2012, the sponsor of the MHPArena and since 2013 the sponsor of the MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg basketball team. The team, which plays in the Beko Basketball Bundesliga, finished the season in fine style by reaching the playoffs.
The spectacular highlight of the evening was - in addition to the expert panel consisting of Lutz Meschke, CFO at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Dr. Ralf Hofmann, Chairman of the MHP Executive Board, John Patrick, Head Coach of the MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg, Christian Gentner, Capitan of the VfB Stuttgart and Werner Spec, Major of the city of Ludwigsburg - a show during which the chart toppers Madcon had everyone partying down to their hits!
